Six Months in French Wine Wood
The Kostiv program pairs lowland blue Weber agave with French Cabernet barrels, and the reposado gets a six-month stay — long enough to pick up caramel and spice from the wine wood while keeping the cooked-agave character up front. Same distillery, same copper-pot process as the añejo. See more from Kostiv, or browse the store's reposado tequila and spirits shelves.
